I am running an ACER laptop with Window Vista Home Premium. I am trying to
get my Dell Axim X51 to sync with my laptop (I switched from XP). The axim is
running Windows Mobile 5.
Here's what's happening. I plug in my handheld and I hear the system sound
for 'hardware insert' (in other words, vista recognizes that something was
inserted). I open Vista sync center and it does not recognize any new
devices. My computer (just computer in vista) does not show any new devices
to explore either. I installed windows mobile device center (6 or 6.1 ... I
can't remember). When I open that, it also does not recognize the new usb
device. I only see connection settings. When I unplug my Axim, I get the
system sound for 'hardware removed'. I don't quite get why the computer
recognizes that there is piece of hardware inserted but I do not get an error
about it not being able to connect. Does anyone have any ideas? I would very
much like to sync my handheld with my laptop. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
